• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_SFMASTERISSU_MSG011 - In-process shop floor routing version exists ?

  The SAP error message MPE_SFMASTERISSU_MSG011 indicates that there is an existing in-process shop floor routing version for the material you are trying to work with. This typically occurs when you attempt to create or modify a routing for a material that already has an active routing version being used in production or other processes.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Routing Version: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an active routing version for the material in question. This means that the system recognizes that there is a routing that is currently being utilized in production or is in a state that prevents changes.
  In-Process Status: The routing version may be in a status that indicates it is currently being processed or is locked for changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Routing Versions:
  
  Use transaction code CA03 (Display Routing) to check the existing routing versions for the material. This will help you identify if there is indeed an active routing version that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Review Status:
  
  Check the status of the existing routing. If it is in use, you may need to wait until the current production process is completed or the routing is released.
  
  
  
  Change or Delete Existing Routing:
  
  If you need to make changes to the routing, you may need to delete or change the status of the existing routing version. This can be done using transaction code CA02 (Change Routing) or CA05 (Delete Routing), depending on your requirements and permissions.
  
  
  
  Create a New Version:
  
  If you cannot modify the existing routing, consider creating a new version of the routing. This can be done by copying the existing routing and making the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Production Team:
  
  If the routing is actively being used in production, consult with the production team to determine the best course of action without disrupting ongoing operations.
